On a second thought, do we want to add an optional "affiliation" field to the signup form, so the affiliation goes at the end of username in braces?
- DGarry (WMF) - Fred (DesignSolutionsInc) - David (MIT) - ... So the signup form would look like this: ------------------------------------------------------------- | | | [ Username preview in large green font ] | | | | Username: | | ___________________ | | Password: | | ___________________ | | Password 2: | | ___________________ | | Email (optional): | | ___________________ | | Affiliation (optional; if your editing is related to work): | | ___________________ | | | ------------------------------------------------------------- I.e. ------------------------------------------------------------- | | | [ "Gryllida (FOO)" in large green font ] | | | | Username: | | _Gryllida__________ | | Password: | | ___________________ | | Password 2: | | ___________________ | | Email (optional): | | ___________________ | | Affiliation (optional; if your editing is related to work): | | _FOO_______________ | | | ------------------------------------------------------------- Gryllida.
